creating special observances, the United Nations promotes international awareness and action on these issues. The majority of observances have been established by resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly, although some have been designated by UN specialized agencies. The United Nations also observes anniversaries of key events in its history.

The Royal Academy of Science International Trust, The Ministry of European Affairs of the Republic of Malta and UNCTAD will work closely with Women and Girls in Science to celebrate and commemorate the relevant International Days observed by the United Nations.
